Yoga program for Teens & Young Adults (Ages 13–24)

Navigating adolescence can be overwhelming. Our teen and young adult programs combine yoga, breathwork, and guided meditation techniques to ease stress, anxiety, and identity challenges.

In Yoga and Ayurveda, the transition from the kapha to pitta phase in children marks a significant developmental shift, typically occurring around puberty. This period signifies a move from the growth-oriented, nurturing qualities of kapha to the dynamic, transformative energies of pitta.

Kapha Phase: Birth to Puberty

From birth until the onset of puberty, children are predominantly influenced by kapha dosha, associated with the elements of earth and water. This phase is characterized by physical growth, tissue development, and the accumulation of bodily mass. Kapha provides the necessary stability and structure during this formative period.

Children in this stage often exhibit kapha traits such as a sturdy physique, calm demeanor, and a preference for routine. However, an imbalance can lead to issues like sluggishness, excessive mucus production, and weight gain. To maintain balance, it's beneficial to encourage regular physical activity and provide a diet that is light, warm, and spiced to aid digestion.

Transition to Pitta: Puberty Onward

The shift to the pitta phase begins around puberty and extends into adulthood. Pitta, governed by the elements of fire and water, is associated with transformation, metabolism, and intellect. This phase brings about significant changes, including hormonal shifts, increased cognitive abilities, and a drive for independence and identity formation.

During this transition, children may display heightened emotions, increased competitiveness, and a sharper intellect. Physically, there may be an uptick in digestive activity and susceptibility to inflammatory conditions if pitta becomes imbalanced. Signs of pitta imbalance include irritability, skin rashes, and digestive disturbances.

By recognizing and adapting to the natural doshic transitions in a child's development, caregivers can support their physical health, emotional balance, and overall well-being during these pivotal years.

However Dosha assessment questionnaire helps to identify the difficulties and predominance of other doshas other than Kapha/ Pitta dosha, based on which customised yogic practices will be provided.

It is linked to the pineal and pituitary glands, influencing vision, sleep, and hormonal balance. When balanced, the Ajna Chakra fosters:

Integrating Chakra Practices into routines

Incorporating chakra-focused activities into daily routines can be both fun and beneficial:

• Yoga Poses: Simple poses like Tree Pose for grounding (root chakra) or Cobra Pose for heart opening can be introduced.

• Chanting "Om": The vibration of the "Om" mantra resonates with the frequency of the Ajna Chakra, aiding in its activation.
